Hi
I'm from Israel. I deal mainly with energy saving at private homes at community level.
I discovered Arduino just recently and I think it will give us the flexibility we were looking for mainly for collecting data, but that's for later.
I want to find a way to combine data from different sources and display on kind of web dashboard, some data will come from logging devices and some collected automatically from Web (such as weather, GHG, UV and more).
For a start I have two sources
1. Energy Meter at home which broadcast on UDP XML data
2. GHG level site I monitor.
Are there any existing modules in Openenergymonitor which can receive this data store and display?
Re: General looging tool
Sounds like emoncms might be what you need: http://emoncms.org/
You can either download the sources and install it on your own servers, or you can use the free cloud based service offered by emoncms.org.
Either way, you can then make any network connected device post data to it via simply html requests. It comes with a brilliant WYSIWYG dashboard editor that's very easy to learn. You can be knocking up professional looking dashboards in no time.

And I should add that if you host emonCMS on your own server, you will be able to build on the framework already in place and add functionality to suit your particular needs.
